cool pics! Nice colors in your dred pic.About mussels, in my late teens two fave T's. One from here:http://www.berthas.com/

The other from Great Eastern Mussel Farms, which had an outpost on Cape Cod one summer. Their shirt had the nutional facts about mussels on the back. (less fat and more protein than an equivalent amount of steak, for instance.)Looks like they went out of bizness:http://news.mainetoday.com/updates/030545.html

I'm a big mussel fan, but I don't think I've eaten any here in the desert.

thanks. glad you liked them. i guess you are a big fan of mussels. i don't really like them or any fish, but here in new england, we have a lot of great seafood i guess. we are known for it. i forget if you said you've been to cape cod. have you? i miss it there. i haven't been in a long time.
